‘Bomb’ at law office proves to be Turnip
I couldn’t resist. There is some sick pleasure sometimes in seeing some lawyers made into complete jackasses…
FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 14 (UPI) — The bomb squad in Fort Wayne, Ind., spent several hours dealing with a suspicious package that turned out to contain a turnip.
Employees at the Haller & Colvin law firm called police after they opened the package and found a blue gift bag, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported Friday. Police summoned bomb squad officers, who arrived with a robot and X-ray equipment.
After the package was discovered Thursday, the robot, nicknamed “Bob,” carried it to a parking lot. It was X-rayed there — using remote-controlled equipment — and determined to be something other than an explosive device.
At that point, several hours after the scare began, officers opened the gift bag and found a raw turnip. It had been sent to Mark GiaQuinta, a lawyer with Haller & Colvin and president of the Fort Wayne community school board.
